4. High Power ON / OFF Switch & Lamp
Controls high power, which is the flow of current to the robot motors. Enabling high
power is a two-step process. An Enable Power request must be sent from the user ter-
minal, an executing program, or a pendant. Once this request has been made, the button
light blinks, and the operator must press the button for high power to be applied. The
default timeout for the button is 10 seconds.

5. Emergency Stop Switch
The E-Stop is a dual-channel, passive E-Stop that supports Category 3 PL-d per EN ISO
13849 safety requirements. It maintains motor power for a fixed time after the E-Stop is
activated. This feature allows the motors to decelerate under servo control to a stop.
This can aid in eliminating coasting or overshooting on low friction mechanisms. It can
also aid in the reduction of wear on highly-geared, high-inertia mechanisms, while
maintaining safety compliance per all standards.
